Author: History of Florida, Past and Present    

        JAMES D. INGRAHAM, sales agent for the Model Land Company at 
Jacksonville, is still a young man in point of years, but is of ripe experience 
and broad knowledge. During an exceedingly active career, most of which up to 
1920 had been passed in the railway business, he has resided in various 
communities in this and other countries, where his connection with responsible 
and prominent positions gave him first-hand knowledge of conditions that has
proven invaluable to him in his present line of work.
	Mr. Ingraham was born at Rutledge, Orange County, Florida, June 16, 
1884, and is a son of JAMES E. and MARIA ELIZABETH (BAKER) INGRAHAM , the 
former a native of Green Bay, Wisconsin, and the latter of Missouri. Mr. 
Ingraham has one sister, KATHERINE, who is the wife of GEORGE W. GIBBS, Jr. 
JAMES E. INGRAHAM is a member of the editorial staff of this work, and a 
complete review of his active and successful career will be found elsewhere in 
this volume. After attending the public schools of St. Johns County, Florida, 
JAMES D. INGRAHAM entered the Sewanee Military Academy, at Sewanee, Tennessee, 
and his course there was followed by one at the University of the South, at the 
same place, from which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1907. His 
first employment was with Chase & Company, wholesale dealers in fruits and 
vegetables at Jacksonville, but gave up that position to enter the service of 
the Florida East Coast Railway, where he was employed in various departments. 
After about three years with this line he joined the Huston-Trumbo Dredging 
Company at Isabella de Sagua, Cuba. His next connection was with the Seaboard Ai
Air Line, as ticket agent at Tampa, Florida, and in 1911 he became Cuban 
passenger agent for this company, being stationed in that capacity at Havana,
Cuba, in that year and 1912. He was next made passenger agent for Florida, with
headquarters at Jacksonville, whence he went successfully to Cincinnati, Ohio;
Havana, Cuba, and Jacksonville. In 1915 he became district passenger agent at
Jacksonville, holding that position until 1917, when he returned to St.
Augustine, Florida, and became associated with the Model Land Company, where he
remained until 1920. In that year he again came to Jacksonville, as sales agent
for the Model Land Company, a position which he has held to the present time
and in which he has gained an unqualified success. Mr. Ingraham is energetic,
progressive and full of enthusiasm as to the country which he represents. A
fluent and interesting conversationalist, he possesses a wealth of information
regarding the territory covered by his company, and his manner of presenting
this material has done much to contribute to the development and advancement of
the state. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of St. Augustine, the
Jacksonville Chamber of Commerce, and the Jacksonville Motor Club, and takes a
foremost part in all movements which promise the betterment of his community in
any way. He is a member of the Seminole Club. In politics Mr. Ingraham is a
supporter of the policies and candidates of the democratic party, but his
political activities have been limited to the exercising of his right of
franchise as a voter, and he has not cared for public office on his own
account. He belongs, with his family, to the Episcopal Church, and contributes
to its movements.
	On June 30, 1915, Mr. Ingraham was united in marriage to Miss FRANCES
HUMPHREY HOPKINS, who was born at St. Augustine, and to this union there have
been born two children: ISABELLA GIBBS and MARIA ELIZABETH.
